Ubisoft is ready to celebrate a decade of Rainbow Six Siege in spectacular fashion with the release of Rainbow Six Siege X. This massive anniversary update is not a sequel but a transformative overhaul of the original title. Fans across the world can finally jump into the new experience starting June 10, 2025, and the anticipation is higher than ever.

The game will officially go live at 10 AM Eastern Daylight Time, with a simultaneous global rollout. This marks one of the most ambitious reworks in the history of live service games, and Ubisoft is pulling out all the stops. Alongside the update, the game is now completely free to play, a move that is expected to bring a wave of new players into the Siege universe.

What sets Siege X apart is how comprehensive the changes are. The update introduces new operators, redesigned user interfaces, fresh gameplay modes, and an overall visual polish that makes the game feel like a new release. Ubisoft has also upgraded the engine, which now drops support for DirectX 11, meaning players will need to meet newer system requirements to enjoy the full experience. Additionally, players are advised to keep at least 110 GB of free space for the download.

The update is not just cosmetic. It signals a new phase for Rainbow Six, one focused on accessibility and long-term sustainability. The reworked modes and quality-of-life changes show that Ubisoft is investing in a future where Siege remains one of the top tactical shooters on the market.

The game will be available on all major platforms including Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. Here is when the update drops across key time zones. Indian fans can start playing at 7:30 PM IST on June 10. Players in the United States will gain access in the morning hours depending on their region. For Australia and New Zealand, the update rolls over into June 11.

This synchronized launch ensures that the worldwide Siege community steps into the new era together, with everyone getting access to the content at the same moment. Whether you are a veteran player or a newcomer, this is a chance to experience Siege with a fresh perspective.

Ubisoft’s decision to make Rainbow Six Siege X free is also a significant moment. It opens the doors for millions of players who may have never tried the tactical shooter due to its price barrier. Now, with a modernized design and zero cost of entry, the doors to Rainbow Six are wide open.
